Forget the audience, make what you want to see

When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.

I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.

Ever since I was little, I've felt very comfortable on a set. The time is stressful - being creative under time constraints. But there is an excitement and energy that you only have a certain amount of time to get what you want.

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.
